Sea, Swallow Me Lyrics

Can't turn up, somebody punch me, yeah
Seven sugars and a madman goes
Yell, I wanted more
Yell, I wanted more
Yell, I wanted more
Yell, I wanted more

Nosy tempers 'bout to play for now
Anybody who doesn't shy around town
Horizontal moth
Horizontal moth
Horizontal to mono re-zones and we'll polish your dreams

At least the sea where liberty
Will stand in place to seek and rule the world

Can't turn up, somebody punch me, yeah
Seven sugars and a madman goes
Yell, I wanted more
Yell, I wanted more
Yell, I wanted my man love, my big man, that low, lonely dove

Yell, I wanted more
Yell, I wanted more
Yell, I wanted more
Yell, I wanted more

Yell, I wanted more
Yell, I wanted more
Yell, I wanted my man love, my big man, that low, lonely dove

What is the Meaning of Sea, Swallow Me?

Here's a lyrical gem that seems to have been birthed from the depths of an abstract expressionist's dream. The song is a surreal journey, navigating through a landscape of yearning and desire, with our protagonist pleading for more - more of what, we may never know. 🌊 Perhaps it's love, perhaps it's freedom or maybe just seven sugars in their tea! The mention of the sea might symbolize vastness and possibility, offering a stark contrast to the claustrophobic repetition of wanting 'more'. And then there's the 'low, lonely dove' - could this be a symbol of peace or solitude? As always with Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd, it's open to interpretation. So put on your thinking caps and dive deep into this ocean of ambiguity!
